Ventura, who won a $1.8 million defamation suit against Kyle's estate last year, said the box office smash was 'as authentic as Dirty Harry'
Jesse Ventura is the latest public figure taking potshots at slain Navy SEAL Chris Kyle and "American Sniper."
The former Minnesota guv - who won a legal dustup with Kyle's estate last year because Kyle claimed he'd once decked Ventura - lashed out at the sharpshooter, calling him a liar and saying the box office smash was a piece of fiction.

Ventura has said that Kyle made up a story and lied, and Ventura wanted a retraction and an apology.
According to The Daily Caller: "Ventura was awarded 1.845 million in the case, which stemmed from Kyle's claim that he punched Ventura in a bar because Ventura said that Navy SEALs deserved to lose some wartime battles. Ventura said that Kyle or his publisher would not give a retraction, and would not restore his reputation. Ventura said his only alternative was to go to court and said the federal judge found substantial evidence that supported a verdict in favor of Ventura. Ventura also said that he sued Kyle before he died and that the lack of a retraction was hurting his reputation among military people, that he could not get a job, lost his TV show - and further the lack of said retraction was hurting him and his family.
Round 3?
Big mouth, slobbish Ventura deserves everything he’s not getting.
JESSE: GO AWAY!
Why would you need three round to shut up Ventura. One should be sufficient for that slime maggot.
Is there a fund to make up that judgement to Kyles widow and children?
“3” as in movie comes out and 1.) Michael Moore injects Jesus into the equation and basically wants to know if Jesus would personally be a sharpshooter, 2.) Howard Dean does his thing and now this (#3).
Says the guy who made his fame in “pro wrestling”...
1) You would know fiction, as a former movie star and "professional wrestler".
2) You won your case.
3) The man is dead. Show a little bit of class, grow up, and let it go.
I liked Jesse better for his cameo appearances with Ah-nold. First as Captain America, second as the commando who says “I ain’t got time to bleed”.
Kind an amusing accusation, considering the source.
I await the day he gets decked in another bar by another Seal, or some other total repudiation by his armed services ex mates.
I bet your real popular with former seals.
All the usual slimeballs of the left. I'm sure ventura is proud to be in the company of moore and maher.
He should just shut the hell up.

Wasn’t his 15 minutes over last century?
The pride of Minnesota!
